LaTeXTools

LaTeXTools is a plugin for Sublime Text 3, which provides LaTeX supports.

Install Package Control by following the instructions in Package Control.

In the Sublime Text 3 window, press Command + Shift + P (Command Palette) and type in install and return. It will search for a while. Then find LaTeXTools and install.

Package control install

If you are installing LaTeXTools for the first time, you need to create a configuration file, LaTeXTools.sublime-settings, in your User directory (off the Packages) directory. To do so, open the command palette from the Tools menu, search for "LaTeXTools: Reconfigure and migrate settings," and hit Return.

Skim

Skim is a PDF reader to view PDF files.

Basic Operations

Most LaTeXTools facilities are triggered using Ctrl-l (Windows, Linux) or Cmd-l (OS X), followed by some other key or key combination.

Compiling LaTeX files

Keybinding: Cmd-b

Multi-file documents: first line in the current file consists of the text %!TEX root = <master file name>.

TeX engine selection: first line of the current file consists of the text %!TEX program = <program>. 'pdflatex' is the default. For multi-file documents, the directive must be in the root file.

Tips

Forward Searching: C-l,j

Reverse Searching: Cmd+shift+click in Skim, noble-clicking in Sumatra.

Jumping to sections and labels: C-r

commands and environments: C-l,c for commands and C-l,e for environment.

Wrapping: C-l,C-c wraps the selected text in a LaTeX command structure, e.g. blah to \cmd{blah}. Then tab to the end of command.

• C-l,C-e gives you \emph{blah}, and the cursor moves to the end of the command.
• C-l,C-b gives you \textbf{blah}
• C-l,C-u gives you \underline{blah}
• C-l,C-t gives you \texttt{blah}
• C-l,C-n wraps the selected text in a LaTeX environment structure. You get \begin{env},blah, \end{env} on three separate lines, with env selected. Change env to whatever environment you want, then hit Tab to move to the end of the environment.
